Coach Mendenhall has been and continues to be an excellent fit at BYU.

Good luck coach, the future will be a joy to watch with you at the helm.

The team's record over the last several years speaks for itself.
Most teams in the Country would love to have a 7-5 record in a down year. Yea,
it's not 10+ wins, but 7 or 8 wins is the exception. Coach has created a
very high standard when you put things into perspective.

Next year,
the schedule gets more difficult but BYU will be just fine.

Bronco: "I'm not sure how long (he will keep going). The easy answer is
until I'm supposed to."

Someone, anyone who can, please tell
Bronco the time has indeed come, he is supposed to leave right away. He has
never read a news article before (according to this article,) doesn't
listen to radio or TV news, so we obviously can't deliver the message here.
What a bubble he lives in ... simply amazing.

"I didn't express any interest, haven't been contacted,
didn't interview and didn't know I was a candidate," he said.
"Other than that, I guess I'm a finalist, from what I've been
told.

That pretty much sums up the reliability of today's
"journalists." They're so eager to scoop each other, that
they're constantly throwing stuff out there based on "reports" from
the flimsiest of "sources."

Anyway, I'm glad to hear
that Bronco, not surprisingly, was never even interested in the Colorado job.
Even the most casual BYU fan recognized immediately that the possibility of
Bronco wanting to be part of the Boulder culture was extremely unlikely.

Mistakes were obviously made this season and, hopefully, lessons were
learned and better decisions will be made in coming seasons.

There are things about Bronco that
are frustrating and his obvious contempt for the fans is ridiculous, but hsi
results have been pretty good. With the exception of this season I have not been
disappointed at all and I am willing to give Bronco a mulligan. He's earned
it.

I do think he is going to compound on his season long mistake of
starting Nelson by doing it again in the bowl game but truth be known I barely
care who he starts in that game at this point. Hopefully the defense will carry
the day and they can eak out one of those 17-10 games.

It would be nice for Bronco to acknowledge that it was a
mistake to play an injured Riley against Utah, Boise State, and San Jose State,
but overall, Bronco is still doing an excellent job.

Doman may be the
larger problem if he can't overcome his infatuation with the option
offense. Brandon painted himself into a corner by building an option offense
around an injury-prone QB, instead of keeping the play book large enough to take
advantage of Lark's passing skills.

Nothing against Taysom,
because I think he's going to be an excellent QB for BYU, but, why was BYU
relying on a Freshman with almost no playing experience to fill in for Nelson,
instead using an excellent Senior quarterback, who, just like Riley, had also
paid his dues and was owed just as much loyalty and respect as Riley?

Thank you, Bronco Mendenhall, for all you do and have done for BYU football. You
are a man of honor and integrity. You are an excellent role model for the young
men you coach. We appreciate you and and hope you stay at BYU as long as you
can. Those who complain are minimal compared to those who support you and this
program. My only wish is that you would smile a little more on the sidelines,
but what do I know about the pressures you face every day.

Rumor has it that Bronco is leaving for Wisconsin now that Bielema is going to
Arkansas... It will be announced after BYU's trip to San Diego for their
bowl game and after the Badger's have their Rose Bowl win.

@ BYUFANIN WASHINGTONST. you are not a true BYU fan i think you are a
Washington husky fan disguised as a BYU fan because true BYU fans will
support their coach and it is obvious that you don't,Bronco is a great
coach,sure he has made a few mistakes but what college coach hasn't and
he has yet to have a losing season.

One question for all of you who want to see Bronco go: Just who do you think
will take over for him that will do any better. Forget Andy Reid. He will never
be happy coaching BYU after the level he's been at in the Pro's. Maybe
another university but not BYU. Think it through.

And forget about
anyone who isn't already a head coach. Part of Bronco's problem is his
transition to HC from DC (Doman never was OC either - so same issue). Sarkisian?
He's in the PAC 12 and not likely to come back down to BYU.

It's harder to find a fit for HC at BYU than it is to get great players.
The coach needs to not only win, but understand BYU in the context of the
mission of the church and support the honor code.

I'm just
saying....before you all bail on Bronco, consider it could be far worse. Better
to support the guy and remember we all are human. Good thing no one is watching
your business performance this past year and putting all your mistakes out in
the press.

If you believe CU administration they are only interested in a coach from a
major college in a power conference. BYU is neither making Bronco the candidate
that never was. The new trend in college football is discriminatory against
anyone who has no major college experience. Additionally the problem at CU is
the administration that keeps perpetuating the ability to lose. Bronco is brave
but going to CU would be like asking David to take on Coliath and his two big
brothers.

Bronco hopefully Holmoe say there's the door don't let it hit you on
the way out! If you put the team first and winning first over hurting your
favorite players by bringing someone else in when players are injured or
aren't performing and made the right decisions BYU might be in a BCS bowl
or even playing for the National Championship this year. If you care about
BYU's success step down from head coach to defensive coach and let someone
who cares about the fans and winning take your head coaching job!
